A proton has an approximate diameter of about 0.84 to 0.87 femtometers (fm), which is equivalent to 8.4 to 8.7 x 10^-15 meters. This size is extremely small, significantly smaller than the wavelengths of visible light. The precise measurement can vary based on experimental techniques and the proton's interactions.

What is the antimatter equivalent of an proton?

The antimatter equivalent of a proton is called an antiproton. Antiprotons have the same mass as protons but carry the opposite charge. When a proton and an antiproton collide, they can annihilate each other, releasing a large amount of energy in the process.

No. It is neither. Of course, like any large chunk of matter, it has both.

If a proton, is a proton then it is a proton. (True).


Why is there a large concentration of H in the thylakoid lumen?

There is a large concentration of H+ in the thylakoid lumen due to the proton pumping action of the electron transport chain during photosynthesis. This creates a proton gradient that is used to drive ATP synthesis during the light reactions.


How do you calculate how much larger the mass of a proton is than the mass of an electron.If the proton's chage is 1 and the mass is 1.007316 and the electron's charge is -1and the mass is 0.000549?

Simple division. 1.007316/0.000549 = 1835 times as large in mass, proton over the electron -----------------------------------------------------------------------

Does the proton have almost no mass?

While on a human scale, the proton has no mass (your body contains around 2 x 1028 protons, give or take) it is a relatively large massive subatomic particle.


What kind of proton causes a nuclear reaction?

A proton with high energy and momentum is required to initiate a nuclear reaction. When this high-energy proton collides with another nucleus, it can cause it to undergo fission or fusion, releasing a large amount of energy.
